Santiago was delighted with the congratulations, looking approvingly at Elliot.
âEli, considering these two greatâgrandchildren, this time...â
âGrandpa!â
Stanley quickly interrupted, unwilling to let Elliot emerge unscathed from the situation. He stood up, visibly agitated.
âMs. Lawson's pregnancy is indeed a joyous occasion. However, we should address Elliot's actions separately! Heâs giving away the shares of the Jenkins Group just because Ms. Lawson is pregnant. When the twins are born, he might end up gifting away the entire Jenkins family!â
He sternly reminded Santiago, âThe shares are not meant for the children but for Sheena! The Lawson family is her maternal family. Who knows if she might take the shares back home in the future!â
The atmosphere in the hall, once again, became heavy due to his words.
Sheena, hearing the term âmaternal familyâ, felt a slight stiffness in her spine, finding an ironic twist in the situation.
Elliot and E&S Haven were the only places she could call home.
Sensing her change in mood, Elliot immediately embraced her shoulders, providing reassurance.
Dealing with the current situation was crucial, and Sheena regained composure.
Then, she looked at Santiago, saying, âGrandpa Santiago, actually, | came here today to discuss the matter of shares. Even though Eli wonât agree to take them back, | have the right to decide how to allocate them.
â| plan to draft an agreement, promising that after the birth of our twins, I'll gift each of them half of the Jenkins Group shares |
hold.â
After all, the twins would carry the Jenkins surname, and if the shares remained with them, it would still be within the Jenkins family.
It was a gift for the two youngest great-grandchildren, and no one could dispute it.
Santiago looked quite pleased with Sheenaâs proposal.
He turned to Grant and laughed joyfully, commenting, âSheena is indeed a sensible and good child! Eli sure is lucky to have her!â
Grant joined in with a contented smile. âYes, Ms. Lawson is understanding. She rushed over for Mr. Jenkinsâs matter. It shows.
she genuinely cares about him!â
The two exchanged smiles, bringing a harmonious atmosphere back to the hall.
212 The initially solemn atmosphere lightened up significantly upon learning about the two little ones in Sheenaâs belly.
Santiago was overjoyed, his grin stretching from ear to ear. He had Grant prepare two expensive gifts, which he personally handed to Sheena in front of all the elders and Stanley.
His hands, wrinkled with rough skin, gently patted Sheenaâs hand, and with a heartfelt tone, he said, âSheena, youâre truly blessed. No matter how much difficulties lie ahead, you'll surely turn things around.â
Sheena, not one for false modesty, graciously accepted the two gifts.
âThank you, Grandpa Santiago. With the babies protecting me, no matter how tough it gets, Iâm sure | can overcome it!â
As she spoke the last few words, her beautiful eyes sparkled with determination.
